Which clear aligners are best for me? A comprehensive guide

Choosing the right clear aligner can feel overwhelming - especially with so many great options available. At Evolve Orthodontics, we offer Invisalign®, Spark, and Angel Aligners, giving you a variety of discreet, comfortable, and effective ways to straighten your smile.
But with all three being excellent choices, how do you know which clear aligners are best for you? In this article, our Specialist Orthodontists break down the differences, helping you understand what might suit you best based on your age, lifestyle, and treatment needs.
What are clear aligners?
Clear aligners are custom-made, removable trays that gently guide your teeth into place over time. They’re a popular choice for adults and teens alike thanks to their subtle appearance and day-to-day convenience. At Evolve Orthodontics, we offer three trusted clear aligner systems - each with its own benefits: Invisalign®, Spark, and Angel Aligners.
Invisalign®: the original clear aligner
Best for: Adults and teens looking for a proven, flexible treatment option
Invisalign® is the most recognised name in clear aligners - and for good reason. With over two decades of research and millions of successful cases worldwide, Invisalign® has built a strong reputation for reliability and results.
It’s suitable for everything from minor crowding to more complex orthodontic concerns. For teens, Invisalign® Teen includes handy features like wear indicators and space for growing molars, making it a great fit for developing smiles.
Spark Aligners: ultra-clear and stain-resistant
Best for: Adults who want the most discreet aligner available
Spark Aligners are known for their impressive clarity and stain resistance. Made with TruGEN™ material, they’re designed to be clearer than other leading aligners and maintain that clarity throughout your treatment.
They also have finely polished edges, which means a smooth, comfortable fit - ideal for adults wanting an aligner that blends seamlessly into everyday life.
Angel Aligners: gentle, dual-step aligner system
Best for: Patients who prefer gradual, controlled movement
Angel Aligners take a slightly different approach with their unique ‘7+3’ dual aligner system. You’ll wear a flexible aligner for seven days, followed by a firmer one for three days - offering gentle, consistent pressure with more control over tooth movement.
They’re also anti-reflective, which makes them particularly discreet under lights and in photos. For patients who are new to orthodontic treatment or sensitive to pressure, this system can offer a more comfortable experience.
Clear aligners for adults vs teenagers
- Adults often look for aligners that are discreet, comfortable, and fit around work, parenting, and daily commitments. Invisalign®, Spark, and Angel Aligners all tick these boxes, and our team will guide you to the one that best suits your goals and lifestyle.
- Teenagers benefit from aligners like Invisalign® Teen, which are tailored to growing smiles and include features that support compliance and track progress. Angel Aligners can also be a great option for teens who want something ultra-discreet and gentle.
We’ll take into account factors like age, growth, compliance, and goals to make sure your teen gets the most appropriate and effective care.
